Ways to Give
Support the Mission
Every wagging tail, life-changing partnership, and moment of comfort made possible through CHAMP begins with the support of people like you. Your generosity helps provide highly trained assistance dogs, expand therapy dog outreach, support community outreach, and create opportunities for individuals and families throughout our community.
There are several ways you can support CHAMP and help continue a mission built on hope, independence, and connection.


Changing Lives One Partnership at a Time.
Training and placing an assistance dog is a life-changing investment. It takes nearly $40,000 to raise, train, and place a single assistance dog with a person whose life will be transformed by their partnership.
Your donation helps provide expert training, veterinary care, specialized equipment, and ongoing support for both clients and dogs throughout their journey together.
Whether you choose to make a one-time gift or become a recurring donor, your generosity creates opportunities for greater independence, confidence, comfort, and connection. Every dollar helps ensure that individuals who need an assistance dog can receive one at NO cost to them.
Planned Giving
Consider including CHAMP Assistance Dogs in your estate plans or your trust. Find out more about these giving options and other ways you can help support our mission.
Leave a legacy that keeps tails wagging for generations.

Help supply the Journey – every CHAMP dog needs supplies, equipment, enrichment tools, treats, and training essentials along the way. One simple purchase can make a meaningful impact. We’ve created Amazon and Chewy Wish Lists filled with items that directly support our dogs in training and help us continue providing life-changing assistance dogs at no cost to our clients.
Whether it’s toys for enrichment, training treats, cleaning supplies, crates, or everyday essentials. Your generosity helps keep tails wagging and training moving forward.
